Windows Vista - Missing CD/DVD drive option in Vista |

 | Hi,
I was trying to read DVD in Windows Vista from my laptop. It reads the content for few minutes and then I removed the DVD. Again I inserted DVD and checked the drive option from MyComputer and it is not there.I used the following steps,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Apparently it seems that this is an age old fix for even XP systems. If you venture to the registry key above by doing the following steps:
- Click on the start menu.
- If this is a Vista machine in the search box type in "regedit" without the quotation marks.
- Maximize the HKLM and then go ahead and browse until you reach the key listed above.
- In the right panel you’ll see something along the lines of "UpperFilter" and "LowerFilter" you want to click on each "filter" key and hit delete. Click yes when it asks to confirm if you wish to delete the key.
- Restart Windows.
- Let me know if this works.
But I couldn't find any filters from the above path in RegEdit. Pleas help me regarding this issue.
Advance Thanks by Anbu. |
